VSCode Solidity Auditor adds Solidity language support and visual security auditing to Visual Studio Code.
About VSCode Solidity Auditor
VSCode Solidity Auditor is an open source extension for Visual Studio Code that adds Solidity language support and visual security linting. It highlights security-relevant syntax, such as access modifiers, tx.origin, and block properties, and draws attention to statements that typically reduce risk or need review. The source describes this as passive security awareness for developers writing Solidity code.
The extension also includes an outline view of contracts, state variables, and methods with a complexity rating, along with audit annotations, call graphs, and UML diagram generation. Most features can be shown, hidden, enabled, or disabled in settings. The source describes the extension as a support tool, not a complete audit, and it does not state that it guarantees the security of any contract.
Key features
- Solidity syntax and semantic highlighting for security-relevant constructs
- Outline view listing contracts, state variables, methods, and a complexity rating
- Audit annotations and bookmarks using @audit and @audit-ok comments
- Import of external scanner results in CDILI JSON format
- Interactive call graphs and UML diagram generation from Solidity code
- Hover information for Ethereum addresses, ASM instructions, and state variables
Best for: Solidity developers who use Visual Studio Code and want security-focused highlighting, code navigation, and review annotations while they write code.
Good for
- Open source, with the code published in a public GitHub repository
- Most features are configurable, so users can choose which ones to enable
- Three color themes are included, including two based on the standard light and Solarized Light themes
Watch out for
- Highlighting is described as passive awareness, so it does not replace a full security review
- Most features must be configured in settings to match a user's needs
- The Marketplace extension is published under a different identifier than the GitHub repository name
